Tasty Marinade
A simple soy sauce-based marinade adds flavor to the pork. In addition to the soy sauce, there’s also rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, amd black pepper.
How Long To Marinate The Pork
You should marinate the pork for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. The longer you marinate it, the more flavor it will have.
How Long To Air Fry Pork Tenderloin
The pork should take about 22 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Keep in mind that air fryer cooking times can vary between different air fryer models. Use the cooking time as an estimate.
Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. An instant read thermometer is helpful. Be careful not to cook it too long. Since pork tenderloin is lean, it gets dry and chewy when overcooked.
Sustitutions
